These abbreviated socks are great for yoga, gymnastics and dance or anytime contact with the floor must be maintained but warm ankles would be nice, too! Use an Authentic Knitting Board with 22-26 pegs or any other double knitting board that can achieve a gauge of 3 stitches per inch on one side of the fabric and has enough needles. Suggested yarn is Lion Tweed Stripes or other bulky yarn.
